How I did it
How to clean up the back porch
It took me
1 day
It made me
happier than dirt

How I did it: Well, it was my Birthday. It was a really nice day outside, so I wanted to do something out there. I asked my kids if they wanted to go for a bike ride, and they turned me down! Then my wife bitched at me about something, and I decided I needed to go outside, desperately!So I committed to cleaning up the back porch. I pulled off all the nasty and/or broken lawn furniture, and raked up the 2 years worth of leaves that had gathered. I remov… Read how I did it…

How to plan a great bachelor's party for my brother
It took me
6 months
It made me
giddy

How I did it: I found a number of places on the web and displayed the candidates to my brother. He picked the one he liked best, and I made all the arrangements. I didn't plan anything else, leaving it up to his creative friends to figure out other activities. We didn't bother with strippers. But we drank steadily all weekend. I brought my drums, guitars, and a PA,  and had it all set up before anyone showed up. We then filled the weekend with mu… Read how I did it…

How to get a cell phone
It took me
6 weeks
It made me
slightly queesey

How I did it: Finally, after more than a year of deciding on this, we went out and got a track phone. No contract, buy minutes when I need them, for me it's the best deal. I'm only using the phone when I'm away from home, and then only if I need to. So now I've got one, and I'm just like everyone else. Read how I did it…

Play music at my 20 year class reunion
Not going to happen 4 months ago

The events planned don’t really lend to an atmosphere where playing music is feasible. I think my friend is going to have a party where we can play music, after the reunion picnic, but I don’t really think that counts.
I will leave this goal up here, however, because something might change. But the more I consider this, the less I really want to push for it to happen.

Get my band back (read all 3 entries…)
Untitled 6 months ago

I think my band has DISbanned. Can I get it back by starting from scratch??? I’ve been considering just forgetting my band, and focus all my energy in my friend’s band, called Scott Beowulf. It’s fun, and I don’t get caught up in any “dramas.” This goal may be here a long time…

save money for christmas (read all 2 entries…)
(I think I can I think I can) 6 months ago

There is only one problem with this goal this year. WHERE IS THE MONEY??? We did put some into savings, for taxes and Christmas, but I strongly suspect I’ll be forced to remove it and use it for something else….
